Please, report oama related issues upstream and use this place for AUR related problems only.

@petrus7 I'm not talking about empty binary package, but empty source package, i.e. PKGBUILD that does nothing. It will only confuse new users who find it here while old users will get a notification when the package is merged/deleted.

@lahwaaz thanks, but I do not want either of them.

This PKGBUILD is intentionally set to fail during install, no empty package get installed. I was hoping that the pre_install, pre_upgrade will show the message so all of my old users get a notification about oama. Some of them don't/can't immediately change. Unfortunately, nothing shown by pre_upgrade, I don't know why.

Edit: Success: the package() function finally shows the message before failing so mailctl users gradually get notified about oama.

@petrus7 You can ask for this package to be deleted or merged into oama-bin instead of leaving empty: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines#Requests

Unfortunately, the replaces functionality does not work for AUR packages, only for the official and user package repositories. However, I figured out a trick to work around this limitation so users of mailctl will be notified soon.

The transition and config of oama is easy just read the docs.

If oama is the replacement for mailctl, then it might be useful to use the PKGBUILD function replaces.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#replaces

This combined with an upgrade/migration script could result in an automated and seamless transition for its users. I am not sure if this is actually possible, but hopefully it is.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for all your efforts!

I have several machines still using mailctl-bin. Is there a 'migration guide' available to make my life easier? :)

mailctl is deprecated in favor of oama from the same author. oama has a much simplified configuration among other changes.

Please remove mailctl-bin and install oama-bin instead.

The canonical Upstream URL is on GitHub again. Please, report upstream problems, questions, etc. there.

Comment here only regarding the mailctl-bin AUR package.

I am using the mailctl-bin package. :) This error message happens on a server running Arch Linux.
